COURSE CONTENT: AP HUMGEO is designed to cover seven major topics of the College Board course content. The course is designed for active participation to increase student understanding and will include text and outside supplementary reading, use and constructions of items such as maps, population pyramids, and geographic surveys. Active reading, note taking and focused writing are essential components of the COURSE DESCRIPTION:  This is a college level course designed to represent a systematic study of the earth. The course covers seven different units including such items as: how to think geographically and use maps, population issues, cultural patterns, political organization of space, agricultural and rural land use, industrialization and economic development, and cities and urban land use. This course answers questions why are places and things are what they are; what their location means in the past, present, and future, and how their location affects other places. Ultimately, the course should help you answer questions about how you relate geographically to the places you inhabit, and how you relate to our world of diverse places. MUCH is expected of you in this course. There is an ABUNDANCE of reading from both the textbook and other ancillary materials. You will an*lyze, reach conclusions, and support those conclusions both in writing and orally. You will use factual information to construct a meaningful “larger” picture. This involves the continued development of higher-level critical thinking skills of application and evaluation.
